When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the East Palace, the entire East Palace was completely deserted.
All the maids and maids in the East Palace were in a hurry and very busy.
However, the moment they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, all the maids and maids immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored these maids and went straight to the palace where Zhu Biao was.
The closer he got to the palace where Zhu Biao was, the louder the cries became, and the more sorrowful Zhu Yuanzhang looked.
Dai Sigong and dozens of imperial doctors also knelt outside Zhu Biao's palace. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang walking in a hurry, all the imperial doctors couldn't help but shuddered and broke out in cold sweat!
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored them and rushed directly into the palace.
In the hall, Zhu Biao's step-concubine Lu, as well as the emperor's grandsons Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxun, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Biao's four daughters, all knelt in front of Zhu Biao's bed.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming in, everyone saluted quickly.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"My grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang..."
However, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored them at this moment and went straight to Zhu Biao's bed.
It's a pity that Zhu Biao now has his eyes closed tightly and his whole body is cold and stiff!
"Our mark~"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao closely for a long time, trembling his lips, and burst into tears.
In the hall, everyone bowed their heads tightly again.
At this moment, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty turned ten years older.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Lan Yu, Li Jinglong, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi, the six ministers, the left and right censors and other officials of the Ming Dynasty rushed outside the East Palace.
In the entire capital, all restaurants and other entertainment venues closed their doors voluntarily, and all the guests hurried back.
The prince passed away!
His Majesty will definitely be furious. If they are caught by the Jinyi Guards and their homes are confiscated and their clans are exterminated, there will be no reason for them to do so.
The entire capital was completely deserted.
All civil and military officials in Beijing fasted and stayed overnight in their official offices.
The next day, a group of civil and military officials, all dressed in plain clothes, entered the Wenhua Hall, mourned and mourned, and were given hemp clothes.
at the same time.
Envoys came out of the capital one after another with imperial edicts and went to convey the edicts to the various vassal kings.
…
"Your Highness, there is an urgent message from the capital!"
In the Yan Palace, in the middle of the night, a figure knocked on the door urgently and entered.
"What happened to the capital?"
Zhu Di walked out of the dormitory hall with a solemn expression, staring closely at the figure.
The figure glanced left and right, and Zhu Di waved his hand.
Everyone around him quickly retreated to a distance, and then the man cautiously approached Zhu Di and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away!"
"Brother...?"
Zhu Di suddenly trembled all over, his face full of grief, "How could it happen so fast?"
"Your Highness, what should I do in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
The man asked again.
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "No movement is allowed, just wait and see what happens!"
"Here!"
Watching the figure go away, Zhu Di shook his hands tightly and walked into the hall.
"Your Highness, it's so late and someone still comes to report, but what's the emergency?"
In the hall, Xu Miaoyun asked curiously.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed something was wrong with Zhu Di.
"Your Highness..."
Zhu Di slowly lay on the bed and hugged Xu Miaoyun gently, "Sister, we don't have a big brother anymore..."
"My condolences, Your Highness!"
…
The next afternoon.
Hu Cheng, the envoy from the capital, tied a white cloth over his head and came to Prince Yan's Mansion to convey the order.
"...Crown Prince Zhu Biao died of serious illness on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, at the beginning of the Yin hour. The Crown Prince Zhu Di led the army to protect the border, so he did not have to go to the capital to fulfill his filial piety..."
"How is this possible? Our eldest brother is so good, how could he collapse..."
Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly.
On the side, Shi Zhufu, the chief minister of Prince Yan, and all the scribes were all shocked and their faces were filled with grief.
After receiving the decree, Zhu Di personally set up a mourning hall and memorial tablet for Zhu Biao in the Yan Palace.
Moreover, they summoned monk Daoyan to the palace and a group of monks from Daqing Shou Temple to chant sutras to Zhu Biao.
"Ma He, where is Guo Changshi now?"
In the evening, Ma He paid his respects to Monk Daoyan, and Daoyan suddenly asked.
"Reporting to Master, Guo Changshi is currently attacking the Japanese country!"
Dao Yan was stunned, "How can Guo Changshi be in Japan for such a big event?"
Ma He looked at Monk Daoyan in surprise.
However, Dao Yan just waved his hand slowly, "Okay, you go and serve His Highness. We will meet with His Highness tomorrow!"
"yes!"
As Ma He retreated, Monk Daoyan couldn't help frowning and murmuring to himself.
"How will you deal with such a big change? Do you really want the Yan Palace to relocate to overseas vassals?"
The next day.
When no one was around, Dao Yan asked Zhu Di: "Your Highness, for such a big event, where is Guo Changshi?"
"Guo Changshi?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned, and subconsciously remembered what Guo An had said to him before.
After His Majesty and the Crown Prince have gone, the next generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty...
"Where is Li Wang?"
"Your Highness?"
Li Wang, wearing plain clothes, walked in quickly.
"Send a speedboat quickly to the Japanese country, inform Guo Changshi of this matter, and ask him to come back quickly!"
"Here!"
Li Wang walked out quickly.
When the prince passed away, the entire Ming Dynasty mourned.
Stop performing rituals and music for thirteen days, and stop marrying off girls for thirty days.
And on the vast sea, a large ship was hung with white silk and headed for the Japanese island at a very fast speed.
Japanese country.
Yancheng.
Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan looked at Guo An with puzzled faces.
"Guo Changshi, you have been worried since April. It's almost June now. Why are you still like this?"
Guo An sighed and said slowly: "I am thinking that the Japanese country is so big and our Yanshan Guard only has 10,000 soldiers. How can we capture the Japanese country and make everyone in the Japanese country respect the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts!"
"Guo Changshi, just hit him!"
Tan Yuan looked murderous, "Those Japanese are all cheap. The more we kill, the more afraid they will be and the more they will obey us!"
"We can't kill them all!"
Guo An chatted with these boys all the time.
Tan Yuan said: "Then we will stipulate how many people should be killed every certain period of time..."
"fart!"
Guo An was furious and yelled!
"Changshi..."
Tan Yuan and Zhu Neng looked aggrieved.
Guo An cursed helplessly, "A bunch of tough guys, they only know how to fight and kill all day long. After reading so many books, have they all been read into the belly of the Japanese?"
Hearing this, Tan Yuan and Zhu Neng seemed to be greatly insulted and wanted to defend themselves.
At this time, a small flag ran over quickly from a distance.
"Guo Changshi! Guo Changshi, His Highness King Yan has sent someone here. It's urgent..."
Unfortunately, before the little flag could finish speaking, a man from Baihu with a white cloth on his head ran over from a distance and shouted.
"Guo Changshi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away, and King Yan urgently summons you back!"
"What?"
"The prince died?"
"Everything was fine, how could His Highness the Crown Prince pass away?"
Hearing this, all the generals who ran out were full of surprise.
However, no one looked sad.
Chen Shou hurriedly said: "Guo Changshi, when the prince dies, there will inevitably be changes in the court. Please go back as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Zhu Liang, Wang You and others also reacted and said quickly: "Yes, Guo Changshi, please go back quickly."
Still can’t escape!
Guo An sighed softly and said slowly: "Take all the silver and I will take a big ship back to Beiping Mansion."
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, General Mo will make arrangements right now!"
Zhu Liang personally went to make arrangements and select personnel.
Guo An once again instructed: "Commander Chen, to attack the Japanese state, we need to attack slowly and show kindness. Only in this way can the entire Japanese state be turned into the Yan state."
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, they are just a group of barbarians. Now this year, they don't have the courage to come and attack us.
With this general here, these Japanese people will slowly get used to the rule of our Prince Yan Mansion..."
Chen Shou urged impatiently: "The most important thing now is the family. This time, we will send a thousand brothers to accompany you back!"
Guo An was surprised and said, "There don't have to be so many people, right?"
Chen Shou said: "If it weren't for the fear of causing fear, I would have wanted to take ten thousand brothers from the Japanese country back!"
Guo An was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that Xu Xiang, Wang You and other Qianhu households were all looking at him with burning eyes, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"Don't think too much. His Majesty is still here. Don't cause trouble for His Majesty!"
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, we have our own sense of discretion!"
Immediately, Chen Shou and other generals quickly sent Guo An to the ship without any explanation.
Zhu Liang was ordered to take a thousand Yanshan guards to escort Guo Anyuan.
ashore.
Chen Shou, Wang You, Tan Tong and others all looked happy.
"Commander, now that the crown prince has passed away and His Majesty is very old, among all the kings, only His Highness King Yan has both political integrity and talent, as well as both civil and military skills. Is there any hope..."
"Hmph, it can't be another vassal king anyway!"
"Hahaha, if His Highness Prince Yan can really take that position, wouldn't we be able to follow suit and become prosperous?"
Thousands of households could not help but look overjoyed.
Chen Shou said: "Okay, we are thousands of miles away and can't care about this. We'd better hurry up and conquer the entire Japanese country!"
"What the command post said is absolutely true. Now, the entire Japanese country is a treasure trove for us to make a fortune!"
"Hahaha……"
…
A month and a half later.
Guo An then returned to Beiping Mansion.
The palace of Prince Yan was still pristine, and the mourning hall built by Zhu Di for Zhu Biao was still there.
Under the leadership of Ma He, Guo An gave Prince Zhu Biao an incense stick and was taken to see Zhu Di.
"I am here to meet you, Your Highness!"
"It's good that Guo Changshi comes back safely!"
Seeing Guo An, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel relaxed.
"My condolences, Your Highness!"
Guo An said.
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di, who was not very sad at first, couldn't help but become sad again when Guo An said this.
"Guo Qing, our eldest brother is gone! In the future, if we, the King of Yan, make mistakes, no one will be able to speak for us and plead for mercy!"
Guo An asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince was fine at the beginning of the year, how could he..."
Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened, "Those imperial doctors are saying that His Royal Highness the Prince suffered from cold occasionally and was overworked, so he just needs to rest.
Then, my eldest brother has been resting for half a year, and his health is getting worse and worse. Not only is he losing weight, but his whole body aches all day long..."
cancer?
tumor?
The more he listened, the more Guo An couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Zhu Di continued: "For this reason, my father has killed several imperial doctors..."
"well!"
Guo An sighed slightly, "Your Highness, I wonder what arrangements the court has for Your Highness, King Qin, King Jin and other vassal kings?"
…
Please give me a monthly ticket
